Code: HB03
Routes: Hanoi - Ha Long - Hanoi
Duration: 3 Days / 2 Nights
Features: A great way to see spectacular Ha Long Bay is a slow cruise through the seemingly never-ending bay of islands. Lay in the sun, enjoy a selection of the freshest seafood, and capture photograph after photograph.

On Dragon Pearl traditional junk, we aim to get off the beaten track but still at a leisurely pace. The size of the new vessel will allow the passengers to get much closer to Ha Long Bay’s natural wonders, pocket lagoons, and its small fishing communities.

Activities:

We greatly enjoyed our trip to Vietnam, and will definitely recommend Footprint. We enjoyed both the hiking and boat cruise. I would also say the door to door service that they provided made the travel much less hectic and enjoyable.
